Eli's breath hitched. He didn't even get the chance to process Caelen loudly calling him sweetheart in front of half the damn Hunter's Association before the blue screen exploded into his vision.
[SYSTEM MISSION – ACTIVE]
Task Name: Compliments, Compliments, Compliments!
Objective: Call Target [CAELEN] handsome 5 times.
⚠︎ Failure to complete will result in punishment.

'You have GOT to be kidding me! This is a serious meeting—THE serious meeting! And you want me to—?!'
The screen flickered once, impatient, before vanishing into the corner of his sight.
